Entry: The State, Marriage, and Contract Law Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/a_thought_on_the_state_and_marriage#27596 Post contents: Many state and legal functions (or at least legal determinations) were once undertaken by the Church, which had temporal power. When it lost this power, the state took over these functions. So Church and State both had power, and thus both might be included under a libertarian definition of state. One might learn this in, say, 8th Grade world history courses. The rest is my informed opinion. I realize it's not what you might learn at Oberlin College or wherever, but it's not that controversial among people who've lived a bit. Just ask the secretaries at work; they'll agree "men are pigs," something quite evident after women gave up the power of chastity under the influence of the same sexual revolution that now seeks gay marriage.
